"You convinced me to name my sword." He looked at it. "I just need to find a good name......" He kicked another rock, "Your past sounded interesting....sorry about how it came out....mine was all down hill from day one...." He sighed.

She sighed and said, "Mine was bad from the moment I was conceived. Everyone knew that my mother was going to have a wild child on her hands."

"I was forced into that situation. You just happened to fall into it....it is sad to know how things happened, right." He looked up and saw a person he use to hang out with when he was younger. Jak waved high, but the guy huffed and walked away.

Rowina noticed the gruffness of the other guy and asked, "Who was that? An old friend?"

"When I was younger, lead a gang, he must be mad that I was forced to leave....." He sighed, "I don't blame him."

"You had to leave?" Rowina asked. "Why? Did you get in trouble with the king or something?"

"Yeah.... I lead one for about 6 or 7 years....followed a girl, you know, to make sure she stayed safe at night...." He looked up at the sky, "She was jumped and I jumped in...she was a lost maid from the castle...King wanted me dead, but the girl talked him out of it. The king said only if I gave up the gang and lived in the castle."

"Oh," she said. "Do you miss the gang at all?"

"Some times.....I was free....no rules....I was respected....sometimes I want to leave the castle but if I do, people like you would run after me." He turned down a street. "That building with all those torches is the guards post that has all the wanted posters."

She smiled and tried to lighten the mood. "Well, now I can hunt down guys who aren't like you."

He smiled, "True...." Jak walked over to post and looked throw the posters. "Anyone you like?" He laughed.

She looked and saw a picture of a huge burly guy with long, shaggy hair. She smiled and said, "This guy. Perfect bait."

"What does it read?" He was looking over the other bounties. I don't remember seeing these.

"A jewel theif apprently," she said, reading the guy's stats.

"Really now....how much?" His curious raised.

"500,000 gold coins," she whispered. "That seems like a lot for one thief."

"He must have a crew...." Jak looked at the poster and his face went white. ".....N-N-N-No......"

"What?" she asked, looking at the poster.

"He was a ...... old friend.....he was my second and took over....." Jak sighed.

"Seriously?" she asked, sending him a quick glance. Looking back at the poster, she said, "This guy doesn't look all that menacing though .

"Looks can be deceiving....you of all people should know that...." Jak let out a sigh, "I was the one who showed him everything....even how to fight...I don't know if his skills increased or not...."

She sighed and said, "He's probably drunk on power, the bastard."

"He never was...." Jak began to think, "...He was always quite...never did much unless I told him to...I understand why is bounty is so high thou...it is because he is the leader of the biggest thief organization in this kingdom....and it was all thinks to me..." He snapped out of it, "You might need help...you mind if I tag along?"

"No problem," she smiled. "I can't wait til I can beat that bastards ass."

"Well...since your "leading" where do you want to start?" Jak looked around. "We could try some old hideouts or the last one we were at?"
